Scottish giants Rangers have seen an offer of around £350,000 for Kilmarnock midfielder Jordan Jones rejected, with the sum offered falling short of Killie's valuation.
The 23-year-old still has 18 month left on his current contract and has been in fine form for Steve Clarke's side this season.
The Northern Ireland international has featured in a total of 25 matches for his team thus far this season, scoring three goals and has also set up three more for his team-mates.
Kilmarnock are tipped to ask for more with a fee of around £1m being discussed. Whether the Gers are going to go further to match the valuation remains to be seen.
Meanwhile Graeme Murty's side are also hopeful of concluding a loan deal for Norwich City defender Russell Martin within this week.
